At the end of the day, I hope neither of you gentlemen are in a situation where you are forced to use your firearm Don't have one, don't want one, would never willingly carry one, don't live in the US anyways, so this is a moot point for me on multiple levels. MannerSaurus posted... The fact is, there is not a courtroom in the United States of America that would find a 330 pound bouncer shooting a 115 pound unarmed Steve Urkle to be considered innocent or self-defense or a "justified shooting." That extreme hypothetical is something I am 100% sure of. Funny thing about that... Here's 26 examples of children and teenagers whose shooters claimed Stand Your Ground (some successfully, some not): https://thinkprogress.org/at-least-26-children-or-teens-died-in-florida-stand-your-ground-cases-726443948a64/ And if you earnestly think that a 115 pound guy cannot pose a threat to a 330 pound guy, you don't know much about fighting. While the 330 pound guy has a distinct advantage, it is more than possible for the 115 pound guy to pose a threat to the other guy's life, whether he is armed or not. I boxed for 7 years in a gym, 13 total if you count outside of the gym in sparring in my mid-20's. I've had more "fights" (if you count sparring) in my life than many people combined, in the sport of boxing alone. I'm not even including the real ones that got me arrested or kicked out of school (older and younger examples.) 215 pounds is a CONSIDERABLE difference in weight. People of different skills and sizes can do different things in combat, but at that kind of difference you can literally just hold the guy in place (like many bouncers are trained to do) and wait for police while the scrawny wuss struggles uselessly. Using a firearm in a scenario like that is asinine, and illegal. --- IT'S TOO LATE... TO GO BACK... I let darkness.. seep through the cracks...
